[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 548296, member: 852"] She is very light boned like a dairy animal, but that's not a Jersey, or any dairy breed that I recognize. Just because an animal has been vaccinated once doesn't make them healthy. And, just because an animal isn't thin doesn't mean they're not malnourished or stunted. Read that over again. An underfed calf will at first develop a potbelly (slightly noticable on both calves in the 2nd pic), but later tend to be in normal proportions and sometimes even fat, just extremely stunted. I've seen 400lb yearling Holsteins -- and they ought to be double that weight. They're not minatures, they're just not properly fed. And just FWIW, there's a difference between a dog not liking a leash and a cow carrying too much weight. I've sat on cows' backs before and haven't anything against it. However, take a look again at your pic and note how her topline dips where the child is seated. Doesn't happen if the animal is strong enough to support the weight. [/QUOTE]
